DRINKING VESSEL.- J

Application filed March 31, 1924. l Serial No. 703,163.

= This invention relates -to drinking and like vessels of paper orsiinilar material for use in'cafs, soft drink dispensaries,l and Vother places where yit is intended that each vessel should be destroyed after its initialA use of holding a beverage, ice cream or like substances.

The object ofthe present invention istof provide animproveddrinking vessel of the above class constructed wholly of ypaper or such like flexible and readily destructible material, the improved vessel being relatively strong s o that it may be handled or gripped without danger of collapse or udue diseing alsoA 'capable o standing tortion, and erect without independent. support upon a fiat surface. Moreover, the improved vessel "is simpleand inexpensive. to manufacture; is

entirely leak'proof, and in all respects eminently suitable for the purpose mentioned.v

. Referring to the drawings which form .part of this specification :-,V

Figure Lis an elevation of an open ended cylindrical member which forms the body of a drinking vessel in accordance with the invention.

' Fi re 2s an elevation'of. a'cupflike base memelr which is adapted for attachment to the lower end of the aforesaid cylindrical member. Figure 3 is a similar view -of the cylindrical body member showing circumferential and longitudinal reinforcing ystrips appliedA thereto.

ysection on line A-f-a of cross section on line B-B According to t is invention the drinkingl `vessel comprises a base member 2- which may l be formed from a blank or disc -f paper or l such like material by any suitable means.v

pleats'or corrugations Gare formed int e paper or like material and may be shaped' .from a rectangular 'blank of such material by any suitable means. This vcylindrical member is open at both ends and the longitudinal edges,'8 and 9 of the blank from which it iis formed loverlap each other as shown in the drawings and are permanentlyV .unitedby glue or other suitable adhesive to thereby provide a liquid tight joint.

Longitudinal ilutings or corrugations` 11 are\form`edjin the wall of the cylindrical member 7. and extend upwardly from the lower extremity thereof for a suitable distance so that when the bod'y is fitted into the base, as shown in Fig. 4, it will be wedged therein .with the upper edges of the v`corrugations or ilutings 2 and 11 even and the lower edge of the body spaced above the bottom ofthe base an appreciable distance. 'lhesaid longitudinal lutings 11 of the cylri der correspond to they flutings `6 of the base member so that the iuted end of the cylindrical member may fity closely into the base"` member 2 with theflutings of the twov members' interengaging asgseen in Figures' 4 and 7.. A suitable glutinous or adhesive substance is introduced between the contiguous surfaces of the two members 2 and4 7 to provide the necessary liquid tight joint whereby said cylindrical member is eectively secured to and supported by the base member. i y

As shown in Figures 3, l4, 5 and 6 one or more longitudinal rreinforcin paper or like material may e placed over the longitudinal overlapping edges 8 and 9 o f the'cylindrical member 7. and secured in such position by a suitable adhesive to re-V inforce the structure and assist in mainstrips 12 vof taining an effective liquid ti ht joint between said edges. is longitudinal/rein` forcing strip prefera ly extends from the upperjend of the body and terminates in slight spaced relation to the upper edges of the ilutings 11 and wall in Figure 4. Another ,reinforcing stri or strips 12*` may extend circumferentia ly around the upper open end of theI cylindrical member 7 as shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5 to further reinforce the top of the structure and proof the base as shown los accord when in use.

3 said body5 p 5 externally coated with parafiine, wax or the like or the two members of the vessel may be formed of paper coated with such sub# stances:

It will be appreciated from the foregoing 10 that the invention provides a simple, inexpensive and comparatively strong and thoroughly liquid tight drinking vessel which may bc handled without damage or undue distortion und will standerect of its own The improved vessel is also adapted to nest within other vessels ofthe same construction when packed or stored and is otherwise highly suited for the purposes in view.

Having now described myv invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:-

l. A receptacle of paper or the like comprising an open-ended bod crimped to provide a tapered lower portion having longitudinally extending corrugations, and a base having a bottom and an upstanding peripheral wall Haring upwardly andl of greaterdepth than the crimped-lower portion of said wall being crimped to form vertically extending corrugations to interengage with the corrugations of the body,

Jing adapted to be wedged temeteend seid body being wedged into seid bese and firmly secured therein with its lower edge spaced above the bottom of the base and the upper edges of the crimped portions substantially even.

2. A receptacle of aper or the like comprising an open-ended body crimped to provide a tapered lower portion having lon itudinally extendin corrug'itions, said b being formedof a lank having its side edge portions overlapped and secured, a reinforcing strip extending longitudinally of said body in covering relation to said overlapped portions and at its lower end terminatlng adjacent the corrugated lower portion of the body, and a base including a bottom and en upstunding peripheral wall of greater depth i than the' crimped and tapered lower portion of said body and provided with verticali extending corrugation's to interengage wit 1 the corrugations of said body2 said body bemto'seid base and secured with the upper edge of the wall ot' the base substantiall even with the upper edge of the crimpedY portion of the base und out 'of contact with the lower end of said reinforcing stri and the lower ed of the vbody spaced above the bottom of t e bese.

ln testimony whereof I aiix my signature.
